Abstract

In the context of certain developments in some areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, the levy of jizyah is making news, mainly for the wrong reasons( ). In the popular English press in India and elsewhere, there is a strong protest against this move. There was a huge condemnation without understanding the essence of jizyah. In this brief note, an attempt is made to put jizyah in its right perspective في سياق تطورات معينة في بعض مناطق باكستان وأفغانستان، فإن فرض الجزية أصبح من الأخبار المتداولة، وذلك أساسا لأسباب خاطئة. ففي الصحف الإنجليزية الشعبية في الهند وغيرها، هناك احتجاجات قوية ضد هذه الخطوة. وكانت هناك إدانة كبيرة دون فهم لجوهر الجزية. في هذه المذكرة الوجيزة محاولة لوضع الجزية في إطارها الصحيح.
